Lonerider Brewing Company

Maybe you have a long layover, your flight got majorly delayed, or your ticket says 8pm not am. Regardless, if you’re at or near RDU and don’t want to hole up at A&W after spending $18 on water and a bag of almonds, consider calling a car for a very short drive to Lonerider. Order a beer in the small, relatively dark indoor bar, then head straight out to the sprawling lawn with plenty of covered picnic tables. There are usually some food trucks too in case you’re considering “accidentally” missing your flight.
